The contribution of officers and personnel from the Pune Police Force is laudable. This musical programme by Ajay-Atul has been held to entertain and thank them.”
- Amitesh Kumar, Commissioner of Police
“I always work for various sections of society. However, the police, who ensure our security, can neither celebrate festivals nor spend quality time with their families. Therefore, I presented the idea to hold such a programme for the police families. Hon CP Amitesh Kumar immediately agreed to it. He himself worked very hard for the success of the musical evening. I am thankful to the Pune Police for choosing me as the sponsor of the programme.”
